You can play Full Screen mode and alt+tab to use it's internet browser if you add FFXIV to Steam and play through that. I still use Windowed mode and Shift Window as I prefer to use my own Browser but performance does take a hit.

Also wish the Com Reps would stop passing this off as a suggestion when clearly it isn't. It is a bug and fault in the game. Hell if you play Full Screen mode and accidentally hit the Windows key the game crashes, how can that not be a bug. Really beggars belief that SE have not announced any plans to tackle this issue.

That's a lie, I've yet to be reprimanded for informing people of the use of Shift Window. Even if I were, I'd still advocate it on unofficial forums.

Technically he is correct it could be seen as a violation of the TOS but I really would be surprised if SE banned anyone over this because they lack the ability to code basic features into a game.

But not really, as it doesn't directly interact with the program (FF XIV). It's not like Windower which had plugins to affect gameplay.

And for the record, dev team fail. Once again they move a thread from bug to suggestion or technical support when it is a bug. "Working as intended" is not an excuse for shoddy programming. The fact remains that basic use of a computer - as intended (that is, pressing the windows key or clicking a mouse) - causes your game to crash. Needs a fix, not an excuse.
